Farm shop in sticky legal wrangle with Toffees from Everton Football Club

Everton Farm shop owner Daniela Troop. See Ross Parry copy RPYEVERTON: A small farm shop which wanted to trademark its village name Everton is facing a David and Goliath battle to keep its moniker - with Premier League football team, Everton FC. Shop owner Daniela Troop was left "stupefied" to learn the Merseyside club objected to her trademark. The history of the small village near Doncaster, South Yorks., can be found as far back as the Doomsday Book and Mrs Troop's family has farmed Everton land since 1440. However, the shop has found itself in a sticky situation with The Toffees who object to the prominence of the word 'Everton' in the logo.
